“Wow”, the young student doctor breathed in joy and wonder as my baby slithered into view, “that is the first time I have seen a birth. Thank you for sharing this with me.” I took my eyes off my newborn son and glanced at the young doctor. All at once the years dropped away …
…space info within stories :-)
Beyond the Horizon contains lots of info within fun space adventure stories with Danny, Lucy and Peter.
Aliens
Enjoying having time to work on the latest Peter, Danny and Lucy space adventure. This time they are exploring a planet where alien life thrives...
Space stories
Following Tim Peake's adventures in space there seems to be a pent up demand for space adventure stories tinged with realism. So frustrating to have a rejection from an agent at this time. Well, will just keep trying. Two books are already out there on AmazonKindle although it is difficult to publicise them.
Submission accepted

It is disappointing to receive a rejection from an agent …

I also gave them some astronomy highlights such as the flyby of Jupiter, sizes of stars and some info about the Moon. One member …
Squid
Well, life imitates art, is that what they say? A couple of weeks' ago I sent off my new adventure story containing an episode with a creature who had an enormous eye...and my daughter produced a delightful painting of a giant squid to accompany the text. The characters had an interlude in Iceland and I …
